In China, more than half of adult women have scars on their abdomen. After all, the cesarean section rate has exceeded 40%. In addition to other common gynecological and surgical diseases, it is not easy to have no scars on their abdomen.
After cesarean section, can how avoid scar to the greatest extent?
Cesarean incision and scar
If you want to leave no scars, the most direct and effective method is not to do cesarean section, and try to give birth smoothly, so there will be no so much trouble.
However, if an operation has been performed to judge whether the cesarean section is good or not, only the outside situation can be seen, but the inside cannot be seen.
The incision of cesarean section can basically reflect the doctor’s operation level and seriousness.
Whether the incision of cesarean section is beautiful depends on several aspects: the size of the incision, the shape of the incision and the degree of scar.
First, on the premise of ensuring the smooth delivery of the fetus, a smaller incision should be adopted as far as possible.
Secondly, the beautiful cesarean section incision is shaped like a [smile curve], with shallow arc shape, slightly tilted on both sides, and along the lines of skin wrinkles, try not to create a [double eyelid].
However, even if the cesarean section incision is beautiful, there is no guarantee that the scar at the incision is not obvious, which depends on the doctor’s suture method and his own scar formation mechanism.
Whether the postoperative scar is obvious or not depends not only on the surgeon, but also on the complicated mechanism of scar generation, which is related to many factors such as race, sex, age, surgical incision, personal constitution, etc.
Some studies have suggested that the darker the skin color, the higher the risk of scar formation. Asians are more likely to suffer from hypertrophic scar than Europeans and Americans, which suggests that the formation mechanism of scar between Europeans and Americans and Asians is very different.
In terms of healing process, fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis increase during wound healing in Asians, which leads to scar hyperplasia and pigmentation in Asians after suffering skin trauma, while scar maturation takes longer (scar congestion takes longer).
In addition, people with scar constitution will have more obvious postoperative scars than ordinary people. Scar looks obviously different from skin in color, higher than skin, with keloids. The whole scar looks thick or even twisted, and sometimes there are obvious discomfort such as pruritus and pain.
This kind of condition is usually called hyperplastic scar, which is difficult to cure and has a high recurrence rate after treatment. Corresponding measures should be taken to minimize the formation of scar.
Nursing after cesarean section
Pay Attention to Wound Nursing after Cesarean Section;
Pay attention to hygiene, clean the wound once a day, change dressing and dressing on time, and keep clean and dry;
Wear loose clothes to avoid direct friction and irritation of wounds for a long time.
Avoid pulling the wound. The new mother should try to avoid excessive pulling the wound while moving in the fields as soon as possible.
Do not lift heavy objects to avoid secondary injuries to wounds;
If there is wound pain, take anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen according to the doctor’s advice, which will not affect breast feeding.
Under the guidance of doctors, the use of [scar patch] or ointment to prevent scar formation at the wound site after operation may play a certain role.
If there is still an obvious scar, you should seek the help of a professional dermatologist or plastic and cosmetic doctor.
The so-called [specialty] refers to professional medical institutions, professional qualified doctors, professional reliable technologies or drugs with evidence-based medical evidence. Don’t go to clinics that are not reliable, hype and too commercial.
If it can’t be solved, don’t get too tangled.
It’s part of life, it’s just a scar. Don’t think of it as a defect. If you can think of it as a connection between the child and the mother, a mark of intimacy, you can let it go.
